Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire Chapter 464 - 464 452 Playing Matchmaker

Chapter 464: Chapter 452: Playing Matchmaker Chapter 464: Chapter 452: Playing Matchmaker Lu Jiaxin called the private detective, asking him to secretly investigate whether Nie Manli, Nie Jingshu, Kang Huijuan, and the others had shown any unusual behavior recently. As for Nie Jingwen and his wife, they had shown goodwill towards her from the start, so it was unlikely that they would harm her. Old Master Nie was the first to be ruled out, for if he accepted her and didn’t force Nie Zhan to break up with her, he wouldn’t need to do such things.

Upon hearing her request, the private detective imdiately thought of the recent kidnapping incident, but Lu Jiaxin, who was generous with her paynt, did not hesitate and imdiately agreed to the task.

She suspected that the Nie family was investigating them in secret, which was not sothing she could tell Nie Zhan, so Lu Jiaxin didn’t share this with him.

Three days later, Zong Shing called Lu Jiaxin to invite her for a shopping trip. It was only after Hu Zhifeng ntioned that Lu Jiaxin hadn’t been affected by the kidnapping incident that she dared to make the invitation.

Lu Jiaxin had been waiting for her call and readily accepted with a laugh.

The two of them agreed to et in Central and went shopping upon eting. Lu Jiaxin’s only requirent for clothes was that they be comfortable and look good; she wasn’t particular about brands. As a result, she frequented Qirui and Green Forest, though she also shopped at designer brands.

Zong Shing’s favorite brand was Hermès, and she was already a long-ti custor. As soon as she entered the store, the staff invited her to the VIP room and brought out all the latest models for her to choose from.

The craftsmanship of Hermès bags was world-renowned. Zong Shing spotted a golden brown crocodile leather tote and tried it on before asking, “Jiaxin, what do you think?”

Lu Jiaxin replied with a smile, “That bag looks nice, and it matches your outfit today.”

Hearing this, Zong Shing instructed the staff to wrap it up, then started looking at n’s bags and belts. Lu Jiaxin, not one to sit idle, browsed through the selections as well.

After Zong Shing made her choices and saw that Lu Jiaxin had only picked out a watch and a tie, she laughed and said, “Nie Zhan told you’re very frugal with money. It seems he was right.”

She had selected sixteen items, while Lu Jiaxin had only chosen two after a long deliberation.

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “I buy things based on whether I have a good feeling about them. If I like it, I don’t mind the cost; if I don’t, I won’t buy it even if it’s cheap.”

Although Lu Jiaxin only picked out a watch and a tie, she still spent eighty-eight thousand, with the diamond watch costing eighty-six thousand and the tie two thousand. In contrast, the shopping seed to be mainly for Hu Zhifeng, as Zong Shing only bought a bag and a bracelet for herself, with the rest intended for him.

Lu Jiaxin knew that Hu Zhifeng was also a loyal Hermès fan, wearing and using their products during both of their etings, which explained why Zong Shing bought so many items.

Afterward, Zong Shing went to Chanel to buy perfu. Lu Jiaxin recalled the book she had on ancient recipes, paying close attention and asking the staff many questions before purchasing two bottles of perfu. One for herself and one that Nie Zhan often used.

Since they had begun their outing quite late, it was past noon after visiting just these two stores, so the two decided to have lunch at the nearby Italian Restaurant.

During the al, Lu Jiaxin asked, “Sister, does your sister have a boyfriend?”

Zong Shing’s own sisters were married, so she knew Lu Jiaxin was asking about her sister-in-law Hu Huihui. “Are you referring to Huihui? She’s currently single. Why, do you have soone suitable to introduce to our Huihui?”

Lu Jiaxin didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked, “What do you think of Su Heyuan?”

Zong Shing had heard about Su Heyuan but had never t him. She joked, “At your age, shouldn’t you all be advocating for love by choice? Why are you suddenly playing matchmaker?”

Lu Jiaxin spread her hands, looking helpless as she spoke, “How would I do such a thing? It was Su Heyuan who happened to run into you all while dining at Good Fortune Here last ti. He was attracted to Miss Hu from the start, but was too scared of being too forward to approach her. As soon as he got ho, he called up and begged to introduce him!”

“Sis, you and I are close, but I’ve never even t Sister Huihui! But he really took it to heart, begged several tis, and I could only shalessly ask you about it.”

This was a major life event for her sister-in-law, and Zong Shing didn’t know Su Heyuan well, so she spoke more tactfully, “My mother-in-law is planning to find Huihui a match. But her standards are quite high, he must be handso and must be from a prestigious family.”

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “Big Brother Su is also quite a catch. He’s been working hard in Hong Kong for four years and now owns two companies to his na. He can’t compare to those from prestigious families in terms of background, but Big Brother Su is very faithful in love. To this day, he’s only been in love twice, each ti with marriage in mind. It’s just that fate wasn’t on his side, and it didn’t work out.”

Zong Shing, recalling the gossip she heard, asked, “Su Heyuan and Miss Bai had even set a date for their engagent. Although Miss Bai’s grandmother’s sudden passing influenced it, they could have picked another date. Why did they break up?”

Without a clear explanation on this matter, Zong Shing couldn’t possibly bring it up with her family. After all, this involved her sister-in-law, and if she ended up unhappy after being set up, her in-law’s family would bla her.

Lu Jiaxin knew she couldn’t hide this detail; otherwise, there was no possibility. After explaining about Bai Jingshu having soone in her heart, she sighed, “Big Brother Su is generous. He believes that everyone has a past and it’s okay as long as you turn the page. But Miss Bai couldn’t stop pining for her ex, often beca sentintal, and even went to Canada to visit him in prison at the beginning of the year. Big Brother Su didn’t mind her past, but with an engagent pending and her heart still with her ex-boyfriend, he couldn’t take it and brought up the breakup himself.”

Zong Shing felt it was Bai Jingshu’s issue too and said, “If she couldn’t forget her ex-boyfriend, she shouldn’t have considered Mr. Su in the first place.”

Lu Jiaxin also felt that Su Heyuan’s romantic endeavors always seed plagued with issues and said with a hint of helplessness, “You’re telling ! Fortunately, Big Brother Su ca to his senses. Otherwise, had they married, Miss Bai would not have been happy with the way things were.”

Zong Shing didn’t refuse further and smiled, saying, “Zhifeng is very fond of Huihui. When I get back, I’ll ask for his opinion. If he agrees, we’ll all go for a al together.”

She dared not make the decision herself; she could at most pass the ssage along. Her husband had dealt with Su Heyuan before, and if Su Heyuan were a good man, he probably wouldn’t refuse.

Lu Jiaxin nodded with a smile and then changed the subject to talk about Yu itong, ntioning how proactive she had been at work since joining Five Auspicious Jewelry, as if she had beco a completely different person. Yu itong was smart and capable but sotis lacked match between her ambitions and abilities, a result of her environnt. Now, willing to start from scratch at the jewelry company as a general designer was a big change for her.

Zong Shing hesitated before speaking up, “Jiaxin, itong wants to call off her engagent with Fu Ye, but neither the Yu family nor Fu Ye have agreed.”

Lu Jiaxin was sowhat surprised, “Sister itong had ntioned wanting to break off the engagent to , but I never thought she would actually propose it.”

“You knew she wanted to break it off?”

Lu Jiaxin nodded, “Last month, so woman was clinging to Fu Ye’s arm and Sister itong caught them red-handed. Not only did he not apologize, but he also told Sister itong that she was making a fuss over nothing. Sister itong said it wasn’t the first ti such a thing happened.”

If it were her, she would’ve confronted him at once and then dumped the jerk.

Zong Shing suddenly understood why Yu itong wanted to call off the engagent. If he was so brazen before marriage, he would care even less about her once they were married.
